| About Fulpati Saptami |
| Fulpati Saptami is the seventh day of the Dashain festival. Fulpati which means 'sacred flowers and leaves' is collected for three days from the jungle nearby. On this day the jamara (a six inch tall yellow grass) and kalash (holy vessel) to be used by the Royal Family are brought from the ancestral palace in Gorkha in a three-day parade complete with military regiment and priests. Government officials in their proper attire await the arrival of fulpati along the route and join the parade to Hanuman Dhoka, where fulpati is placed in the royal palace. While the sacred items are being placed in Hanuman Dhoka palace, the Royal Nepalese Army fires a salute at Thundikhel, as a part of the celebration observed by His Majesty the King. |
